Professional photographer and TBT congregant Bob Handelman will lead a new version of his  Kesher Photo Storytelling group starting in October 2024. 

Let’s explore, let’s connect, let’s tell stories. 

The best camera is the one you have with you.

It’s about aligning your heart, mind, and eye; and not the camera.

I am driven by a personal passion for engaging with the world around me and capturing beauty and sharing it. In our Kesher group, we’ll do this by connecting with your interests and visually tell your story. We’ll introduce and/or dive deeper into various important techniques and genres to help you realize your vision through photography. Below is how I describe my commercial photography brand.

Story360 Discovering what may not be in focus. 

You need exceptional imagery in a curated collection. You need someone who can deliver the unexpected, the images you want, and those you don’t even know you need. That requires the willingness, curiosity, and ability to dive deep and explore, beyond a typical creative brief, shot list, or image library. When I immerse myself in a subject, a scene, an experience, I see and feel a story to be told, both captured and crafted, one frame at a time. It takes a thoughtful plan, a discerning eye, and a well-timed shutter. I help you engage your audience with memorable imagery that elicits emotion and stimulates the senses. This is who I am. This is what I do, I’d like to do this with you. With Story360, Let’s find the elusive sparkle hiding in the shadows. Let’s get inside—in between the moments—to discover what may not be in focus.
